Chapter 8 His ambiguous attitude, sometimes cold and sometimes hot
"How can this be, in this household? You are the young mistress, with so many servants at home. You don't need to do anything, just instruct them and they will do it for you. Just focus on being a good young mistress, there's no need for you to do things that the servants should be doing." Wang Xiuzhen said this out loud, seemingly speaking to the servants, but in reality, she was saying it to Jiang Ruoxi, hinting that although she may not have had any boundaries at the Jiang household before, in the Leng household, there must be rules and they must be followed.
Jiang Ruoxi nodded, "Mom, I know." Her voice was very soft.
Wang Xiuling smiled and said, "Alright, alright, if you know then it's good. Ru Yue, are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a bit?"
"No need, I've already slept on the plane." Jiang Ruoxi said somewhat awkwardly, it was her first time here and she felt a sense of unease and tension in her heart.
"Come on, have some juice. Oh, by the way, where's that child? Didn't he come back with you?" asked Wang Xiuchun.
"Oh, he said the company has a meeting and will be back later, so I came back first." Jiang Ruoxi said with a faint smile.
Wang Xiucheng took a sip of tea, "Mmm, my son is just a workaholic, often busy with work and forgets to eat. In the future, you must take good care of him."
Jiang Ruoxi nodded, "Got it, mom."
Wang Xiucheng was about to speak again when he suddenly saw Leng Jingcheng entering the door with a cane, "Master, you're back." He immediately went up to greet him and supported him.
Jiang Ruoxi also stood up from the sofa, "Dad." she called out softly.
Leng Jingcheng's face lit up with a warm smile as soon as he saw Jiang Ruoxi, "Ruoxi is back. Take a seat!"
Jiang Ruoxi didn't dare to sit down until Leng Jingcheng sat down on the single sofa. She looked at Wang Xiuxin and only sat down after seeing her sit down too.
"How was your time in the US? Did Yan bully you?" asked Leng Jingcheng.
"Dad, we're doing all right." Jiang Ruoxi nodded slightly.
"Hmm, that's good." Leng Jing's face was smiling, this wife, was his chosen one, he was very satisfied, not only gentle but also lovely.
Wang Xiuchun looked at Leng Jingcheng and then at Jiang Ruoxue, suppressing the smile on her face as she sipped her tea.
Leng Jing Cheng still couldn't stop caring about Ruoxue.
"After a long time, Jiang Ruoxi finally had the opportunity to speak up, 'Dad, Mom, I want to go upstairs and tidy up first.' Sitting alone in front of her elders, she felt very pressured."
"Alright, go! Li Shu, take Young Madam upstairs." Leng Jing Cheng instructed.
Jiang Ruoxi stood up and nodded slightly, then followed Li Shuo upstairs.
After turning the spiral staircase, go up to the second floor, walk through the long corridor, and finally stop in front of a white carved double door. Li Shu opened the door of the room, Jiang Ruoxi walked into the room, and almost all the decorations in the entire room were black, including the black decorative cabinet, black sofa, and even the bed sheets and quilt covers.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ruoxi was slightly stunned.
Mrs. Li followed behind her, "Young lady, let me help you pick up your clothes."
"No need, I'll handle it myself." Jiang Ruoxi directly refused, while Li Shuo had a difficult expression on her face and stood aside.
Jiang Ruoxi turned her head and glanced at Li Shu, "Alright! You help me tidy up." The hand that had just opened the zipper of her handbag stopped moving.
Li Shuo quickly picked up the clothes from her bag and hung them neatly in the closet, which was already filled with many new women's clothing, even the price tags were still on, while Jiang Ruoxi could only sit aside.
"Madam, everything has been put away. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Li Shuo asked respectfully.
"No need, I want to rest, you go downstairs and busy yourself!" Jiang Ruoxi couldn't wait to get rid of her so she could be alone.
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Yes, young mistress." Then she left the room.
Jiang Ruoxi walked to the single sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down. Looking out of the open floor-to-ceiling window, what entered her line of sight was villa after villa, as well as a beautifully landscaped garden.
She is really rare to have this leisurely and carefree mood to watch the scenery, thinking of nothing.
She shouldn't think about anything else anymore. She should be a good and obedient young mistress of the Leng family, and a good and obedient wife to Leng Yan.
But what about him? His ambiguous attitude, sometimes cold and sometimes hot, made her puzzled. Perhaps he was not mentally prepared either, after all, their first meeting was at the wedding ceremony.
At this time, the sound of a car driving in came from downstairs. Getting up from the sofa, I looked through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw a black Cayenne slowly driving into the villa. A tall figure got out of the car.
Jiang Ruoxi walked out of the room and down the stairs, only to see Leng Yan already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"You're back." Jiang Ruoxi's lips curled up slightly in a smile.
Leng Yun suddenly stood up and walked to her side, his long arm lightly encircling her waist. "Didn't you say you were resting upstairs? Why did you come down?"
"I..." Jiang Ruo Xi saw such a gentle and soft expression on Leng Yan's face, but didn't know how to react.
"Do you want to sit here for a while or go upstairs and rest some more?" Leng Yun said softly in her ear.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at him in surprise.
At this time, Leng Jingcheng spoke up, "Yan, take Ruo Xi upstairs to rest for a while. When it's time for dinner, I'll have Li Shu go up and call you."
He slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, "Dad, Mom, let's go upstairs." After finishing speaking, he directly hugged Jiang Ruoxi and went up the stairs.
As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Leng Yun's gentle demeanor changed, and he coldly let go of her, walking into the room by himself.
"Cold..." Jiang Ruo Xi had just opened her mouth when she saw him walk into the study.
Jiang Ruoxi saw the closed door of the study, raised her hand, but still didn't knock on the door. She turned around and walked to the sofa, sat down, and gazed into the distance.
The sunset's golden light spilled down, casting a warm glow on Jiang Ruoxi's pale skin as she lay on the couch with her eyes closed, making her complexion even more translucent and radiant, like a porcelain doll. Cold Yun walked out of the study and saw this scene, but there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.
Leng Yun didn't say a word and walked back into the study again.
Until the sky was slightly dark, there was a knock at the door. "Young master, young madam, the old master said you can go downstairs to have dinner."
Jiang Ruoxi opened her eyes, got up from the sofa, walked to the door and responded in a loud voice, "Alright, I know."
She turned and walked to the door of the study, hesitated for a few seconds, stretched out her hand and knocked gently on the door. "Leng..." As soon as she opened her mouth, the door of the study was opened.
"We can go downstairs for dinner now." Jiang Ruoxi withdrew her hand and said to Leng Yan who was standing by the door.
"Alright." Leng Yun nodded and walked out of the study, his hand lightly brushing against the door, which automatically closed behind him. He turned around, looked at Jiang Ruoxi, "Let's go!" As he said that, he took her small hand and walked out of the room.
